Sony introduced the Betamax home video system in 1975 with the LV-1901 Trinitron/Betamax console. It was the most popular video format in 1983, gaining almost a third of the UK video recorder market, while Sanyo's VTC5000 was the top selling UK video recorder. By 1985, however, the market had turned sharply towards VHS.

DVDs can hold up to two hours of footage. If Beta tape is more than two hours, it will go on another DVD.
If you have more than one betamax tapes, we have a quantity discount.
